Metal Bar Distributors

Metal ERP Software for Metal Bar Distributors

Every angle, bend, and cut counts in metal bar distributors, but the precise needs of this industry don’t stop there. From the purchasing team to inventory management and the production floor, the business needs to run like a well-oiled machine. If it doesn’t, you risk falling behind the competition and lowering what is already a pretty slim profit margin.

We know these demands better than most. We understand the importance of precision and optimization. That’s why we designed an advanced ERP solution tailored to metal bar distributors.

RealSTEEL™ was developed alongside industry experts. It’s a flexible and scalable ERP solution powered by Microsoft and designed to optimize your business from the ground up.

Whether it’s automating sales quotes, scheduling production processes, enhancing business-wide communication, or providing complete visibility on your entire organization, RealSTEEL™ has everything your business needs to stay competitive.

How RealSTEEL™ ERP Benefits Metal Bar Distributors

RealSTEEL™ is a single, cloud-based software solution that incorporates various integrations to benefit every aspect of your business and optimize your daily operations:

  • Nesting Engine: Evaluates all cutting demand against your available raw material to determine the most efficient cut patterns. Instead of processing orders one at a time and leaving feet of waste, it optimizes across orders to leave only inches of waste, driving material utilization above 98%. Built into the RealSTEEL™ solution.
  • Manufacturing Execution System (MES): A shop-floor application designed for saw operators to execute and track cutting work in real time. Replaces manual, paper-based processes with a digital workflow that captures setup time, run time, material usage, and production output, keeping inventory accurate and up to date the moment work is completed.
  • Precise Inventory Management:  Dispense with the usual spreadsheets and eliminate stock checks—RealSTEEL™ tracks every raw material and records attributes such as dimensions, alloys, and grades to maximize production efficiency.
  • Accurate Job Costing: See your job costs in real time, with labor, transport, service costs, and more, all tracked. You’ll know exactly what you’re spending and can identify cost-saving opportunities.
  • Seamless Production Control: Follow every step of the production cycle, from cutting through to finishing, with production times and resource use captured in real time.
  • Complete Visibility: RealSTEEL™ ERP provides a 360-degree view of operations. You can track every order and every production cycle, helping you to identify bottlenecks, reduce waste, and improve your bottom line.

Why Should You Choose RealSTEEL™?

RealSTEEL™ ERP wasn’t designed for general manufacturing, so you’re not trying to insert a square peg into a round hole like you are with generic ERP solutions.

As a certified Microsoft Dynamics 365 partner, we can guarantee its security and reliability, while our cloud-based approach means you can scale the software as your business grows and access it wherever you are—at the office, at home, or on the move.
